Welcome aboard and thanks for serving our country.
Search Bedwoodandparts.com, very good stuff.
Most board venders carry the front end parts but you could buy 71/72 junkyard stuff to save $$. Also check the parts board on here.
Stay safe wherever you are.

Hi Seanhizzo,

I've done everything you just mentioned in Custom Classic Trucks on my '68 C10. Shoot me your mailing info via PM and I'll put a care package together with the issues I can find that cover your questions, if you'd like. Here's the gist of what I used:

CPP Grand Slam big brake kit, converted 6-lug to 5x4 3/4-inch (Passenger Chevy).

Bed Wood & Parts Sapele custom kit with even width boards, turned out very nice. I've used them on two projects now and their stuff can't be beat if you're wanting something custom.

Good luck and stay safe!

If you want a hard tonneau cover, Gaylord's makes a very nice one.
